What the hell is going on?
I just replaced my fuel pump because it was knackered. Now I'm getting the fault code P0230, thought it might of been the relay but not different.

Car starts after clearing the fault code, but 5 mins down the road its back again and the engine dies. The lift pump does seem to be running whilst the engine is on, i don't think this should happen. Also the engine stays running after ignition is turned off for about 2 seconds.
Its driving me nuts can any one suggest anything?

Here's a link to a description of the code http://www.obd-codes.com/p0230

How odd my mate just did a diagnostic test on his Triumph motorbike tonight and got exact same code relating to a fuel pump relay issue. His has been stood for best part of a year and just getting it back together to sell it so thought issue could be to do with not having abattery in it for most of the time.

He cleared his went for a ride and didn't come back, ride about 10 minutes.

Try cleaning your rail pressure sensor, checking the FPR is clean and secure and if you haven't already fit a new fuel filter.

Then cross your fingers and hope the fuel fault was not actually your HP pump. It will sound rattly because the primary source of p0230 is a fuel pressure fault.

And yes, the lift pump should run when the car runs, otherwise how is diesel supposed to reach the engine bay?
